Managing DNS records

The DNS records card listing records with an Add form

For domains bought through Wigoh, the DNS records card on the site's settings page is your DNS editor.

What it shows​

One block per domain, with a table of records: Name, Type, Value, and an action column. Records that keep your site online are marked ours with a lock (This record keeps your site online. We look after it.) and cannot be removed.

Adding a record​

Below the table:

  1. Name (leave blank or @ for the domain itself).
  2. Type: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV or CAA.
  3. Priority appears for MX records.
  4. Value.
  5. Press Add.

The form tells you what is missing (Enter a value, MX records need a priority).

Removing a record​

Press the bin icon on the row. Managed records cannot be removed.

Typical uses​

  • Email: add your provider's MX records and any TXT (SPF, DKIM) records.
  • Verification: add a TXT record a service asked for.
  • A subdomain pointing elsewhere: a CNAME or A record.
